Minister for Scheduled Caste Welfare Sudhanshu Das discussed measures to improve animal health services. The government has allocated ₹4.5 crore for 55 new mini mobile veterinary units and ₹2 crore for a dairy production project in Bamutiya. The Chief Minister’s Livestock Farmers’ Honor Fund has already provided ₹6,000 to 5,000 farmers, encouraging livestock farming.
